To be clear, "AI" has been used for decades in life science. It's called Bioinformatics. The recent trend of thinking of "AI" as generative language/image models is leaking into some clickbaity journalism here.

This is a cool innovation, but the computer science in use here is not new and has nothing to do with the recent explosion of generative AI models
